~ This post is dedicated to the humans who lost their beloved animal companions ~
Someone lost her beloved bunny recently and I know it's a very sad moment for her. I had went through this loss before, I know how it feels. When I took my Animal Communication course, I learnt that our animals would cross over to the rainbow bridge. Over there, it's a paradise where many other animals are staying there too. There is plenty of love, friendship, food, water and security. Every animals are happy there. When they are ready, they may choose to proceed on to the next stage of life, that is, to come back to Earth to experience life again in the form they wish to take. Sometimes, they may choose to come back to be with their humans again. However, they could not proceed to the next life stage if they know their humans are still grieving for them. Because our beloved animals love and care for us, and they get worried to feel our grief. Yes, we may and we would keep them fondly in our hearts, but let's do so with all the blessings for our deceased animals and not let our grief hold them back further. Let them binky free over the rainbow bridge. It's not easy, I know. For our animals are our soul companions, our kids, our family, our friends. Let simple nature help us. Here are some Bach Flower Remedies that could help us at times likes this: 1. Star of Bethlehem - to comfort and sooth shock, grief and trauma during distressing moments like bereavement. 2. Honeysuckle - to unlock the mind past memories and bring thoughts, energies and focus back to present moment. Have emotional clarity of the past, enjoy and learn from the past without being trapped in it. 3. Red Chestnut - for those who are worried about the well-beings of their loved ones. Being worried for our loved ones, besides harming ourselves, any negative thought, energy, worry or fear for our loved ones would harm them instead. Red Chestnut would help one to have trust and faith that our loved ones would be able to take good care of themselves. 4. Pine - for those who have self-reproach that they have not taken good care of their loved ones. Pine would help to release the burden of guilt and move on in a constructive way. 5. Rescue Remedy - to help one calm down and better cope with emergencies, critical or harsh situations. I wish to help those who are in painful moments like this. I would be giving these remedies mixture to those who need it. If you know of anyone who is going through such ordeals now, let me know. No one needs to go through such pain alone. Received good news!

I did. And that was what made me decide to setup SimplyBach. In my darkest moment, Bach Flower Remedies helped me out of the rut and gave me a second chance in life. Now, it has become my wish to help others to have that chance too. No regrets. A short and simple video from a used-to-be Hornbeam guy. Enjoy!
What's Hornbeam? Hornbeam is for an emotion state of procrastination or lacking the mental strength and determination to get ahead with tasks or the day ahead. Most of us would have experienced it somehow - 'Monday Blues'. Over the weekend, I attended an 'Animal Communication' course, hoping to understand what my bunny Puto is really feeling and whether he wishes to have a partner.
When the communication channel was initiated with him, he 'told' me he was very sad because I do not have more time to play with him as I am always working. This morning, I tried 'chatting' with him again. He came snuggling very close to me, which was rather unusual during this time of the day. I 'told' him I had to bath and to have my breakfast. Initially, he couldn't understand when I showed him the image of me going to the bathroom. I tried again sending him the image of me grooming myself like a bunny, then he understood and waited patiently for me outside the bathroom...haha...so all along, he couldn't understand why I always had to disappear for a long time to this 'box with a door' (which in our human context - a bathroom)! After bathing, he 'told' me he wanted petting. I had to channel my hunger to me to let him understand I needed to have my breakfast first. Interestingly, he ran to his food bowl. He wanted to have breakfast together. Haha... After breakfast, he waited at a corner, and I received 'an invitation' to play. I thought it must be my imagination, but when I started walking away, he started playing 'catching' with me. Haha... Then when I really needed to get back to my work, I sent him the image of me working, and I received this extreme heart pain in my heart. I was not sure if this feeling was from me or him, so I tried sending him the image of me working to him again. 3 times, the same heart pain came back. I sent him the image of sky growing dark, and I came back to play with him, and him sleeping while waiting for me to return. His response - snuggling even closer to me, and give me a feeling of longing. Oh dear, how can I let this little darling baby understand humans have to work. I always know his personality is that of Chicory, but I didn't know he couldn't stand so much even a short moment of not being together with his loved ones. I need to give him his Chicory remedy again. There are many kind souls out there who are willing to adopt and bring sheltered animals back with them and shower them with all the love they could give. Over the weekends, someone shared with me some stories of sheltered animals that are unable to ease in easily to their new homes, or have behavioral issues, and some even escaped.
Understanding from these sheltered animals' perspective, it could then be easily understood why. In Singapore, many street animals are 'captured' and put in shelters. Due to limited space, some shelters would put animals who are displaying behavioral issues or not being adopted after a window period, to sleep. Put ourselves in their paws, this is very traumatizing and frightening. They do not understand why they were happily walking on the street one day, when suddenly some humans came to 'kidnap' them to a place with cages and so many other animals, and why they have to be separated from their loved ones. Some shelters may have shortage of manpower and have no time to give sufficient attention to the animals. After the ordeals they went through, some animals might feel frightened of humans, even to kind and friendly visitors or potential adopters. Some might still enjoy the love and kind attention from visitors, and would welcome the idea of these kind souls bringing them out of the shelters. But some may not be mentally prepared to accept the life of a domesticated animal, resulting in behavioral or escaping issues. Besides giving a lot of patience and love to help these animals to ease-in with their new homes, some Bach Flower Remedies can come in handy to help them cope better: 1) Walnut - to feel more settled and adjusted to changes and the new environment. 2) Mimulus - to help overcome their known fears or phobias. However, if the animals are having extreme frights or terrors, Rock Rose may be used instead. 3) Aspen - to help overcome fears of unknown things or feelings of apprehension. 4) Star of Bethlehem - to sooth shock, distress, trauma (recent or deep-rooted) or grief. This is commonly needed by sheltered animals. 5) Cherry Plum - to restore calmness, and emotional and self control. This is useful for animals who become too hyper and hysterical. 6) Honeysuckle - to help overcome homesickness, nostalgic or dwelling in the past memories. This is useful for animals who miss their family or friends still in the shelter. 7) Impatiens - to deal with agitation or irritability. 8) Rescue Remedy - to help calm animals during emergencies, harsh or critical situations. At any one time, only 7 remedies can be given. The above 7 remedies can be given for the initial stage. It would be good to also include the remedies according to the animals' personality type. However, some people might need some time to better understand and know their animal friends' personality. Some common animals' personalities that can also cause behavioral or emotional issues: Chicory - give a lot of love, want their love to be reciprocated, and want to stay close to their loved ones. Crab Apple - over-obsessed with their body's appearance or cleanliness, or groom excessively. This is useful for animals who have scarred body parts. Heather - attention-seeking Impatiens - easily agitated, irritated or impatient. Mimulus - shy, nervous or easily frightened. Vine - controlling and domineering With the appropriate remedies given, a happier animal friend would soon be seen. These are only some examples. Every animal has their own unique temperaments and personalities. If you need help to identify the appropriate remedies for your animal friends, do not hesitate to give me a quick ring. |
